Askmewhats Report: Mineraux Event

Mineraux, what is Mineraux?

Mineraux actually is a mineral company to look forward to this coming June. They are owned by Ms. Melissa Patricio-Vergara with her partners Joanna Clemente and Kristine Ongcuangco. They are 3 friends who share the same passion for mineral make-up!

I am excited to try this brand because.... It's Mineral! And it's Pinay made! Who knows Pinay skin more than Pinays right?

The launch happened at the Barcino Spanish Wine Cellar at Fort Bonifacio. I have the chance to talk to 2 of the owners Melissa and Joanna on the day.

I like it that it felt like a gathering for friends who love make-up. It was very informal and questions are answered directly. Phoebe asked about their bestseller and we learned that the Skin Perfecting Foundation and their Bronzers are their bestsellers! Now that got me excited to try them. We were also served with wine and snacks. Isn't that great? Make-up talk, food and drinks! Now that's relaxation!

We had a chance to take a peek at their traincase full of their product lines. We had fun swatching them and oohhed and ahhhd over our favorites.

I am definitely going for the Foundation!!!I hope it works for me! :)Comes June, let's check out their site!www.mineraux.com.phwant to ask more information about their products?You can email them at info@mineraux.com.ph

Jess, yes I did! I am so sorry about your location having only a few beauty bloggers or even none to meet up! Hey, who knows? Beauty bloggers are increasing in numbers and you may meet one of them! Come down for a visit and we'll meet up with you for sure! :)

Plue, I've heard about the CS one getting scratchy after several uses. All I did was feel them on my hands and they are super soft, not sure though how it'll work out after several uses :)

But i'm kinda surprised with Mineraux being a new mmu company. I remember seeing some Mineraux products on eBay.ph way back '07. And I even purchased a baby kabuki brush from them. Maybe this is their formal launch.

Pammy, you are right, they've been around since 2007 but they never really launched formally! They've been selling their products to friends and online for quite some time but this time, they are launching it to the public! So more people will have the chance to try their products ;)
